The Google Play Store has way too many apps than the App Store but the thing is, you can’t and you shouldn’t try them all. We as users usually have a fixed quota of apps installed on the phone, some may replace one or more apps with a new one. This is why most of the apps remain undiscovered by the masses and many apps are marked underrated for tier functionalities. We at True-Tech come up with a best android apps list every month, and here is the top 10 best Android apps January 2022 edition that you should check out before you know the year ends.
